Claiming that the Sri Lanka Podujana Peramuna (SLPP) is yet to name its Presidential Candidate, SLPP General Secretary Sagara Kariyawasam said today Basil Rajapaksa was an ideal candidate who functioned as the Economic Development Minister when making Sri Lanka one of the fastest developing countries in the world.
He told a news conference that Basil Rajapaksa was a suitable person to give leadership to Sri Lanka, who has showcased his potential.
"He is a leader who obtained international support by working with the international community during the time of the war. He is a leader who developed the north and east excessively.
"False allegations were leveled against him in the recent past. Cases were filed against him and he was freed from all those cases," he said.
